Product Overview
Okulo (oh-KOOL-oh) Cooler is shaped like an Eye Pillow, measuring 10.5 x 4 inches but filled with polyacrylamide, a super absorbent, non-toxic polymer that holds up to 400x its weight in water. The warm water lasts longer than the eye pillow making this ideal for dry eye therapy. The extra moisture creates warm humidity that helps soften the meibum (the natural oils in the eyelids) along your eyelids, making it easier for it to flow and keep your eyelids comfortable.
Instructions:
- Soak in warm water for 20-30 minutes. Distribute the gel evenly 10 minutes into the soaking time. Avoid over soaking.
- Or pop an already-soaked Okulo in the microwave for 30 seconds to warm it up.
- Pat dry with a towel. Place over your eyes for instant soothing effect.
- Leave flat to dry when not in use. After several days the beads will crystallize back to normal.
- To clean: Hand wash with a couple drops of dish soap. Rinse well and air dry. Do not machine wash. Do not iron the beads.
Hints:
- For quick absorption, use warm water.
- Do not freeze the Okulo. If you need a cold pack, you can put it in the fridge or soak it in cold water, but never put it in the freezer.
- Okulo Coolers don't absorb hard water very well. If you have hard water, soak the Okulo Cooler in fresh spring or distilled water for best results.

What's the difference between the Okulo Cooler and Okulo Warmer?
Absolutely nothing! I created the Okulo Warmer product on the website to make it easier for people to find if they're looking for a product for dry eye therapy. You can definitely use this product as a cold pack on your eyes by soaking it in cold water instead.
"Okulo" is the Esperanto word for "Eye". See what I did there?
